Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Start in cells

Sow in 1" cells; seedlings can take three weeks or more.

Space 8–12"

Or direct sow after frost, about 3 seeds per inch, and thin.

Water and feed

Moist, fertile soil; side-dress once or twice if growth slows.

Cut as needed

Hold cut parsley just above freezing in high humidity, or dry it on screens.

Growing Information

Germination

Slow to sprout: allow 2–4 weeks with the soil around 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Transplanting (recommended)

Start seed in 1" cells and be patient, since seedlings take three weeks or longer to show.

Direct sowing

Wait until spring frosts are over, then sow 1/4–1/2" deep at about 3 seeds to the inch, either in single rows or in bands 2–3" wide, with rows 12–18" apart. Thin plants to stand 8–12" apart.

Light

Full sun.

Spacing

8–12" between plants.

Hardiness

A biennial, normally grown for its leaves in the first year.

Height

Varies by variety.

Soil and care

Moist, fertile soil. Water in dry weather, and if growth slows, give a side-dressing of compost or balanced fertilizer once or twice in the season. On well-drained ground, plants often come through winter and give an early cutting the next spring; mulch them where winters drop under 0°F (-18°C).

Disease

Crop rotation and clean growing practices are the best prevention.

Harvest

Cut leaves whenever you need them. Freshly cut parsley stays crisp longest just above freezing, at 0–2°C (32–36°F), with humidity around 95%. To dry it, wash the leaves, spread them thinly on screens somewhere warm and airy, then crumble and store them in jars once completely dry.

Pelleted seed

Keep the soil evenly moist while pelleted seed germinates. Store pellets cool and dry and sow them within a year.
